It would seem to me that while the mobyscale grades and modifiers were
normalized, the usage of them was not. I do have a couple of questions
though.

Okay, so back to my original questions, what do you do if the box is missing
and the map is missing, but you have the disk and manual?
You say: "When I have a single loose prop or disk (or a completely empty box),
I grade
it with only only one Mobyscore based on its condition. "
Can you give a s
Good point about (S) (T). I agree it's redundant. (T) alone works. What
about (C)? The original reason that we had (C) was for a game that was
sealed, but had become "compressed" due to the air getting sucked out of the
shrink. However, the current wording for MobyScale could also use (C) for

I'm already set up to use both modifiers. It may be a bit superfluous, but
I prefer it simply because it's more accurate at a glance. If you look at a
modifier of "IM" your first thought would
Here's a question:
I figured I'd take a look around the web for a type of clear plastic case
(kind of like an oversized VHS case or something like that) that would fit
most computer games, and buy a bunch bulk, and start putting all of my
collection in them. It seemed like a good idea. However,
Disk sleeves: I think the only workaround would be to add even more
conditions and modifiers to the MobyScale. It's just too abridged to convey
this kind of detail. Nothing can replace a short, insightful description.
I could actually live with a MobyScale that is imperfect in this respect.

At first I agreed that MO is a good idea, but it doesn't clear up the entire
issue. What if you have a floppy and its disk sleeve? What if you have a
floppy and manual only (but not the map). These would still be vaild uses of
IM/IM, with a note as to what you have or what is missing.

IM modifier: if the box is missing you obviously can't grade its condition,
so ED would be misleading just like you said. Perhaps IM should represent a
modifier _and_ condition, at least as far as the packaging is concerned. If
you only have the floppy in flawless shape the correct grading should
